“The Ins. Companies will rue the day the went to bed with the DC mongrels, and it won’t be just a bad case of fleas either.”

You need to consider that it was done essentially at gunpoint - and, frankly, businesses generally don’t care that much about regulation and higher costs - but that it is fairly and equally distributed between them and their competitors. It’s all about the profit margin. What it “costs” is secondary, as long as the same number of people continue buying the product (even better if they HAVE to) - and, 3% profit on $200 is double the 3% profit on $100.

There was a little carrot and stick utilized - that's true.

The Insurance companies helped sink Hillary Care, but they got in bed with Obama on this one just like Chamberlain got in bed with Nazis.

Doesn't matter what extenuating circumstances there are, they will reap what has been sown.
